I don't know but does all types of latex bumps against your body?

If it does it is creating more pressure and how can that be pressure relieving?

Someone please explain this contradiction.

Latex is not for everybody.  You think there is push back with a latex bed..try a latex pillow, it's like sleeping on a balloon.  LOL.

I call it rebound.  It isn't pressure, it's just bouncy.  Latex is great because it doesn't break down as quickly as other foams do.  But because of this quality, it seems bouncy. 

One thing you can do is cover it with a couple of inches of P/U or other foam for softness...it also dampens the bounciness of the latex without removing the good qualities.  I just had my bed foam replaced with a layer of latex covered by 3" of p/u foam and it is sleeping great.  I can tell it is more buoyant than just p/u foam alone, but it is not bouncy.

Polyurethane.    Generally considered the cheap stuff (I think, I am newbie trying to learn).
